Two men and a woman have been charged with a number of drug related offences.

It's after four people were arrested in England and Wales on Tuesday and brought to Northern Ireland for questioning.

It follows a proactive investigation into the supply of controlled drugs through the postal system ongoing over the last year.

The suspects appearing in court are facing charges including being concerned in the supply of a class A controlled drug, conspiracy to supply a class A controlled drug, conspiracy to supply a class B controlled drug, possessing criminal property and concealing criminal property.

A third male was also arrested on suspicion of a number of drug offences in relation to the investigation and remains in police custody.

Charges also include possessing criminal property and concealing criminal property.

All three defendants are due to appear before Londonderry Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
